I love the concept of surprise tickets, but man trying to figure out who to get is always torture

It is, especially with trying to juggle more than one team. >_<

Question is, shall we get LegFest after ST expires.

Oh wow, good call. I completely forgot about that. We should, since the ten-pull ticket is good for a week and that'll carry us for the rest of the month. Of course, they could also delay and release LegendFes at the beginning of next month...

 

[dakkumauji]

in the midst of all this news about tickets, star legends, tales collabs, there was also a new radio show showing off even more news

next month, Gayne (her) will get a 5th star
Garuda (the ssr summon) is getting a 4th star

and finally, granfire fantasy returns!

(i'm not joking about any of this)

Ha, yeah, thats definitely part of the problem, I know the mantra is to focus on one element but when you've got a few "sort of ok" teams its hard not to split focus.

What? No Granblue Fantasy breakfast cereal? Pfft!

 

[AdawgDaFAB]

Seems to be a new version of the webapp? http://game.granbluefantasy.jp/

the big thing about it is that you do not need to spoof chrome into being a phone to play the game

it kinda looks ugly since its still optimized like a phone game but hey, anyone can play this game now (assuming you are using chrome or safari)

Is there any way to make it centered on the screen instead of on the left side? I'm so used to playing it with the spoof that it feels weird to not have it in the center.

 

[Noi]

next month, Gayne (her) will get a 5th star

And here I was considering 4 starring her today. She's pretty good!

 

[Chaos17]

what's that, you wanted a surprise ticket?

and a star legend

Is that the 2xSS R event ? *newbie*

 

[Gizuko]

I should listen to reason and pick Lancelot but, limited characters? Man, do I want Korwa (despite Petra being my only wind SSR).

 

[Azusa]

No you dont. Never surprise ticket chars that you cant use at once. Its a waste of ticket. You can pull them later of ST them later.

lol, we have the same dilemma.. thinking of lancelot for water (or charlotte), but want a korwa despite having only petra

And thats my problem. Since I havent started another element (weapon pool). I do have units from right to left but no planned secondary team.

Cause I can mvp Lumi, I was thinking I should prolly grab Amira(?) as I have Light Jeanne & Sarunan. Obviously I wont choose Dark character, cause I dont need.

Then again, I have Petra & Arriet & MLB Anat. Would Korwa be good 3rd member?
I could go Windmeme . Since Iam expecting most of my friends do have Anat.

On the otherhand, I have Altair & Silva...

So I may ditch the Light idea and choose either from Wind or Water, prolly Wind .

 

[Saprol]

limited characters?

the point is those characters are revoking their limited status and the remaining ones outside of special events (such as seasonal, zodiac, legfes chars) are returning to the gacha later in the year

dont you want dark jeanne?

 

[Rixa]

dont you want dark jeanne?

Actually no, Iam ok if I happen to pull her as my party is:
Vampy / LadyG / Vira / s.Vaseraga & Lucius

I really dont have room for her and at some point Lucius place will be replaced by Six.
Kinda see waste of ST to use it for Dark Jeanne. Somewhat tempted to go for Wind as secondary Element.

 

[Se7enSword]

Pls buff Collo staves thx. (if they decide to add attack up to another Fire Magna weapon I will be extremely salty)

I still haven't foddered my Colo fists and katanas yet!

 

[dennism]

what is the ultimate water team right now? (excluding gw characters)

 

[Gizuko]

No you dont. Never surprise ticket chars that you cant use at once. Its a waste of ticket. You can pull them later of ST them later.

You have a point. Even if I were to farm Nio (have the harp and most of the mats) the team still wouldn't be beber than my secondary one (fire), so I'll think it over. Thank you, as always.

the point is those characters are revoking their limited status and the remaining ones outside of special events (such as seasonal, zodiac, legfes chars) are returning to the gacha later in the year

I didn't know this, thank you. Makes passing up on the former limited characters easier.

lol, we have the same dilemma.. thinking of lancelot for water (or charlotte), but want a korwa despite having only petra

I'm glad I'm not the only one lol.
Still, if you go with water I'd pick Lancelot over Char unless you are missing some sort of damage reduction vs boss CAs (or have both Lilele and Yoda). I do have Char, and she is awesome, but I think Lance's damage is a must in water teams, specially before you are able to get the final upgrade for the baha pistol.

[TatteredHat]

Not sure what to surprise ticket, if anything. Could go either water or wind but at that point I might as well go windmeme, I have no weapon pool for either element anyway.

Get altair for water team or korwa for wind.

 

[TatteredHat]

Get altair for water team or korwa for wind.

I'll probably just grab Korwa, she seems a bit more versatile.

Third option would be picking up Amira, but I'm not sure I want to step into the realm of farming Chev yet.

 

[Falk]

Seems to be a new version of the webapp? http://game.granbluefantasy.jp/

how is webapp version compared to chrome app?

The Chrome app version is the best, at least on my experience.

Both the Chrome App and dev mode emulation versions are a little choppy for me. Web app is giving me close to solid 30fps (lol, for a web app) but everything involving network communications is taking much longer than usual - which may or may not be a totally unrelated symptom i.e. we're at the end of an event/Omegafest.

update edit:
After being informed of beta animations in the dev mode emulation, fiddled with that and it's as smooth as the new web app version (animation timing lines up again now too)

On the flipside, web app version has some annoying first-time-cache sluggishness but runs pretty well after that. They're both equally good for me right now.

edit2:
Confirming that the multi-window stuff for e.g. running casino simultaneously while playing works with web app.

 

[Yaari]

I'm so annoyed. I've been pumped for Korwa hitting the ST but Jeanne appears to be crucial to my light team. Damn what do I do now.

 

[Grzi]

And here I was considering 4 starring her today. She's pretty good!

Damn, I have her as well. Was using her a lot when I started. Might do Earth after I'm done with Water. I already have Ayer (he sucks, I know) and Ladiva, who is supposedly a great SR. It's a start.

Still, farming Earth with a Water team could be troublesome.

 

[Gizuko]

Just got a bahamut gun from the raid (not the rusted weapon), but I already have a bahamut gun. Do bahamut weapons have any secondary uses, or can I use it as fodder/reduce it?

 

[MicH]

Ooh so much us happening! I have no idea what to do with the ST as my Start Dash should appear in less than a week as well. Definitely picking Yuel with one of them, but not sure if I should continue building fire and pick Clarisse with the other? Or start focusing a second element?

My characters:

Fire:
Metera
Percival
Agielba
Athena (summons)

Water:
Silva

Wind:
Metera
Quezaqotl (Summon)

Earth:
Sara

Dark:
Vira

Nothing for light

 

[Wanchan]

2 EP raids almost over T_T

Not sure either who to pick for start dash, I could use a dark healer but the only one is apparently christmas limited..... -_-

dark doesnt need healers.

 

[Felessan]

Got Lady Grey out of Star Legend and Yuel with Surprise ticket.
Now I have reasonable teams in all elements except water...

Main are wind/earth/light as I got some drops from Tia, no drop from Yggdrasil, but team are good and I am making Sorn/pool for her.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Ending the surprise ticket the day before my payday is cruel .

The new story event banner that popped up is intriguing (and translated already?) I hope one is male.

 

[Gizuko]

I'm really conflicted over the ST.

I definitely would get a boost out of using him, specially since I would no longer need Yoda, but at the same time I'm not sure a potentially small upgrade is worth 24€. If only I hay a way of knowing how Quattre and Lancelot compare, damage-wise, the choice would be easier.

 

[Ultimadrago]

Is using a Surprise Ticket for a Summon heard of? Not recommended?

Edit: Actually, scratch that. Think I'm going Gandalf.

 

[Azusa]

Only if you know what are you doing.

Spoiler

im getting summon this time

 

[Wanchan]

Got lancelot in the star legend, nice up for my water team.

I'm also wondering if I should just pick a summon, I'm only 1 star off on my odin summon....

 

[Ultimadrago]

There's Dual Fate Episodes? Why have I never seen this on my list before?

Only if you know what are you doing.

Spoiler

*Bwomp Bwoomp*

Hey, give me your thoughts real quick Azunyan. Would this team benefit from Gandalf (Aletheia) as an attacker instead of Eustace? Eugen's meter building abilities have been rather helpful for aggro and quicker chains.

Otherwise, I was considering Medusa (though my guild doesn't win GWs like yours, so MLBing would take a while longer).

 

[MicH]

Got Lich (Summon) from Star Legend. Eh. Would've preferred a character.

Also picked up Yuel with the ST. Now should I pick up Clarisse with my Start Dash or someone else? My fire team is pretty decked out already. Really liking what Cagliostro brings to the table. I already have Sara for Earth.

 

[Quonny]

Man, I might pass on the ticket. I have a perfect windmemer team and no other element is even close to being useful. I thought I'd grab it every time but I really have no need. If I did it would be for my light team but I seriously have almost no weapon pool for it.

Do people end up saving the weapons they get from farming other magnas? Or do they use it for getting their weapon SL up.

 

[Quonny]

Usually you want to max out your main element as fast as possible, but if they're the attack up SSR Magna for another element you definitely want to hold onto those for your eventual pool. The SRs however you should feel free to feed away. At least that's what I think.

 

[h0tp0ck3t]

Damn just when I told myself I wouldn't spend any more money on mobile games :/

Edit:
Vania bringing me closer to that all SSR team

 

[Felessan]

You want to save pool-worthy SSR - as they are hard to come by and it will save you a lot of time later when you later decide to spread to more colors. SR (these are relatively easy to get) and rest of SSR are just fodder.
I am even saving Lumi Swords as they are very good, but in a very long shot.

Grats! But her name will always be Vampy.

 

[commish]

I'm surprised so many ppl are doing their SSR selection now with the legfest coming so soon. I'll wait until after I do my pulls. Never know what the legfes fairy is going to bring!

 

[SirBukkake]

The problem with getting her to 90 is that if you are below rank 50, getting gold cert is hard. I had to wait for a good while till I could get them. Then her fate to unlock 5* is... oh I better not spoil.

Now, mid game and high level are different. Mid game, you can focus on dishing out damage. High level is more reliant on survival. Obviously from her skill set, she is not one to increase much your survival, but she will still be a top tier attacker with ougi acceleration for the team.

Yeah, after reading more into her, I'm realizing that having her on the team now is not really relevant. I'm still pretty low rank and may change my mind on an element-focus team in the future. Jeanne D'arc feels like the more utilitarian pick.

I would pick Amira up with this Surprise Ticket promo... I spent my money on the Beginners Ticket already so I think I'm good.

Spoiler

OH GOD I AM NOT GOOD I SO WANT TO SPEND MORE MONEY ON THIS SURPRISE TICKET DAMN YOU MOBAGE!

Oh yeah, legfest is coming up. I need to start focusing on grinding through the main story to get the ~1500 crystals I need for that 3rd 10-pull.

 

[Wanchan]

Picked Jeanne d'Arc for my light team since I plan to strengthen that team once my dark team is complete.

 

[Yaari]

Same as me then! She's great. Very pleased with my pick.

 

[kayos90]

Can I farm Diablo SR as alternatives while farming for Celeste SSRs for my dark team? Just curious.

 

[dakkumauji]

caveat: the current gatcha event ends when your chance to buy the surprise ticket ends

so you'll need to at least buy the ticket (you have a week afterwards to use it) before we'll see if we'll even get a legfes

I kinda feel like we won't, since legfes are usually over the weekend and this gatcha ends on a tuesday

------------------------------------
for the ticket itself, kinda thinking either sara should I don't have to use charm to not die in my earth team or lancey so I can have an attacker in water
or korwa cause thread waifu
